The Labor World was a weekly labor newspaper published by the Chattanooga Trades and Labor Council in Chattanooga, Tennessee. This collection covers 617 issues spanning Volumes 13–25 (January 4, 1929 – December 27, 1940). Issues from earlier and later volumes are not present on the surviving microfilm.

The newspaper served the organized labor community of Chattanooga and southeastern Tennessee, covering local union news, national labor legislation, strikes, wages, working conditions, and broader political and social affairs of the era.

Digitized from microfilm held by the Tennessee State Library & Archives (reels 700B, 700C, 700D), commissioned by Fred Stafford. Individual issues have been assembled into per-volume PDFs with bookmarked tables of contents for navigation by issue number and date, using Claude Code. Published with permission of the Tennessee AFL-CIO.

Approximately 25 issues within the filmed span are absent from the microfilm; an additional 30 issues from Vol. 13 (pre-January 1929) existed but fall before this collection's coverage.
